💜 Retirement Announcement 💜
It is with sadness that we announce that Dr Rock will be retiring from Theale Medical Centre at the end of March, after 29 years of dedicated service.
Dr Rock has made the decision to retire in order to spend more time with her family and friends. During her time at the practice, she has cared for generations of patients and played a vital role in supporting our community.
Dr Rock would like to share the following message:
“I feel extremely privileged to have worked with such an amazing team at TMC. Every person in the practice plays a vital supportive role in providing medical care to our community. It has been an honour to work alongside such dedicated colleagues. I would also like to thank the Patient Participation Group for their continued support of Theale, Calcot and the surrounding villages.”
Dr Rock’s patients will continue to be cared for by our existing and expanding clinical team.
She will be greatly missed by both patients and staff, and we would like to thank her for her commitment, compassion and dedication over nearly three decades.
We wish Dr Rock a long, happy and well deserved retirement 💐💐

You and Your General Practice (YYGP) – Patient Charter

As part of the 2025/26 GP contract changes, NHS England has introduced You and Your General Practice (YYGP), also referred to as the Patient Charter.

From 1st October 2025, all GP practices are required to provide patients with access to this information.

🔗 You can read the full NHS England YYGP document here.
🌍 Translated versions are also available here.

The YYGP sets out what you, as a patient, can expect from your GP practice, alongside how you can help us to provide the best care for you and our wider community.

In line with the guidance, our practice has also nominated a YYGP Lead, our Practice Manager, who will act as a point of contact should you wish to provide feedback or raise any concerns about the charter.

For more information, you can view the full YYGP guidance (last updated 20th August 2025) here
